On Wednesday morning hours after he romped home to victory, securing a four year term in the White House, Ms Sturgeon issued a bizarre press release congratulating him yet criticising him at the same time.

Later on Thursday she then reiterated her comments when grilled about his election during First Minister's questions at Holyrood which was broadcast on live TV.

A spokesman for Ms Sturgeon said: "The First Minister will be writing to Mr Trump on his election success.

Nicola Sturgeon wanted to ban Mr Trump from Scotland

Mr Trump has said all bets are off when it comes to trade with countries around the world and that in fact he will be willing to work with anyone who will work with him.

However there is no love lost between Mr Trump, whose mother was Scottish, and the current Holyrood administration who he has been engaged in a bitter battle with for years.

Mr Trump, former First Minister Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon have been engaged in a war of words over a planning application that has spilled over into a diplomatic drama.

The US president elect even declared Mr Salmond an "embarrassment" for freeing Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset Al Megrahi issued his own statement denouncing the administration.

In December last year Ms Sturgeon called on then Home Secretary Theresa May to ban Mr Trump from entering the United Kingdom.

Her spokeswoman later issued a statement saying: "The First Minister has made her views on Donald Trump quite clear.

"The Home Secretary should consider the issue."

Days later Mr Trump, who was said to be apoplectic, retorted: "I have done so much for Scotland, including building Trump International Golf Links, Scotland, which has received the highest accolades, and is what many believe to be one of the greatest golf courses anywhere in the world.
